Concord Park Place


Concord Park Place is a 45-acre (18 ha) multi-tower condominium complex under construction in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, between Sheppard Avenue, Leslie Street, Highway 401, and Bessarion Road. The development creates a south extension of the Bayview Village neighbourhood of North York.

Until the 1960s, the site was used as farmland. At that time Canadian Tire built a large distribution facility and retail store on the site. The buildings were surrounded by single family homes built in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1999 Canadian Tire began the process of moving the Distribution Centre to Brampton, Ontario), and the retail store was relocated to nearby Provost and Sheppard Avenue East. Canadian Tire then sold the site to the development company Concord Adex. Demolition of the old buildings began in 2007.

In 2015 the first phase of the development has been completed, consisting of four buildings: Discovery (Buildings A, B) and Discovery II (Buildings D, E) and located to the north of the IKEA store. An eight acre part was in the design stages.

Upon completion, Concord Park Place will include 5,000 condominium units in 20 buildings, high-rise, and mid-rise. The remaining 16 buildings will be located on the former footprint of the old Canadian Tire warehouse and store to the west of Provost Drive.

Concord Park Place is near the Leslie and Bessarion subway stations on the Toronto Transit Commission's Sheppard subway line. IKEA operates a shuttle service from the store to Leslie station.
